Rineanna will be the one to watch although you have the Bridge and Ave to consider .
Lifford don't have the bottle to see it through as seen last season on the final day - no killer instinct

a lot of teams have the same problems ... trying to get players out of bed and a few definatly don't like the rain & muck

but it helps if you get a few wins and are playing well... looks like it could be a very intresting season

both capable of beating anybody on a good day...and all depends were moher are playing (weather wise)

at best to finish in lower half of table or at worst relegation .

as regards newtown think they have a management team in place to get the best out of each player, all clubs have the muck and rain problem as for Newmarket are those rumours coming from the team amd IMO the winner of this year league will the one the best results from game in moher tough place to get points from

We won the 4th (as it was) and the 1st at the first time of asking. We won the premier in our second year in it...finiahed 3rd I think our 1st year in it.

I'm not aware of any team that won the premier in their 1st year in it.

**Planners** · 17/08/2006, 4:16 PM

Cousinsyl - If I recall that 1st division would I be right in saying that you got 5 walkovers in the last 7 games - thats not winning a league - cheats

sorry no offense but how could you call them them cheats when they received the walkover its up to all league teams to fulfill their fixture and if memory serves me right they were well ahead of the rest at that stage

**shelbourne1904** · 17/08/2006, 8:40 PM

Newtown beat Corbally tonight 4-2.Scorers were Ray Quigley, Ryan Kelly,Declan Mcdonald and Davy Wall.Good match Corbally scored first but Newtown recovered well and finished too strong for the newly promoted Limerick Premier side.

No you would be wrong.....

Recieved 1 walkover from Turnpike in the second last game. We would have been at home in it and would have won it anyway the form we were in.

Well done to Newtown again last night...100% winning start for the new managers is it????
Any idea who ye play Sunday week on the opening lg day? Would be a cracker if it were Olympic. Great to get those 2 back together for the derby games.

thats a bit rough calling bunratty cheats... any team can only turn up for a fixture it is not there fault if they get walkovers surely the cheats here are the teams who gave walkovers...

heard newtown were very impresive after a shaky start..

looking good for new season if they can continue in this form

**avenueC** · 18/08/2006, 3:08 PM

shouldnt read too much into friendly pre season games, lots of experiments, new guys new systems etc etc. no real championship commitment / attitude. suppose psychologically(??) a win is always good but the performance wold be more important...
as for young lads gettin out of bed on a wet sunday morn a lot of em dont have to attitude to be able to stay in on a sat nite an be fresh for a sun morn game..most of the older lads are well able to....

Its good to get results in pre-season but it wont mean a thing once the season kicks off. All we are doing is trying formations, building fitness and getting to know our options for the real games ahead. That said its better to do that by winning games and building up team spirit. The trophies are handed out next april/may and thats a long way off yet. Good luck to everyone for the new season I'm sure there will be plenty of "debate" on here for the next 10 months.

**bigguy** · 20/08/2006, 3:30 PM

Lads are the fixtures out for the start of the season,its next week it starts isnt it????

**reds exile** · 21/08/2006, 3:03 AM
